Agency spokesman Carl DeFebo tells the newspaper that the agency has no "stated objective, other than we want to make sure we have effective and efficient management."

The 74-year-old agency oversees 545 miles of toll roads across the state, which generates about $700 million a year in revenue. Its management structure was last reviewed in 2003 when former Gov. Ed Rendell installed Joe Brimmeier as the agency's CEO. The consultant's recommendations at the time included changing job titles and responsibilities, DeFebo told the Trib.

DeFebo told the Trib that the new review would be "more limited in scope" than the previous one because it would look at the agency's top 14 management positions, not the entire organization.

In The Meantime, the affairs of state rolled on yesterday as the House Judiciary Committeetook testimony on legislation banning sunbed use by under-18s. Lawmakers heard from two cancer survivors, public health experts and industry representatives as they reviewed the proposal sponsored by Rep. Rosemary Swanger, R-Lebanon.

Violators under Swanger's proposal would be punished with civil penalties and fines. Repeat offenders could risk losing their state license.

"Many of us, in our younger years, enjoyed sunning ourselves at the beach in the hope of achieving that golden glow," Swanger told her colleagues. "People who did so and had that color to their skin were often described as looking … healthier. We are now finding that description to be anything but accurate."

The rest of today's news starts now:

State Sen. Bob Mensch ... ... is appealing his conviction on a charge that he showed a handgun to a motorist from Palmer Township in March.Mensch, whose district includes parts of Bucks, Lehigh, Montgomery and Northampton counties, filed his appeal in Berks County Court last week. He was found guilty of summary disorderly conduct on May 9. In court proceedings, a Berks County prosecutor said Mensch displayed a handgun as he and Brian Salisbury, 55, drove down Interstate 78 in Berks County in March. Salisbury told authorities Mensch displayed the gun as they drove — a claim Mensch has denied.Mensch, 65, said he was holding a cellphone, not a gun. Mensch said he had a gun in the vehicle and only picked it up after he stopped for gas and that Salisbury had stopped, too.

May Revenue Collections ... ... further padded the state's revenue surplus, but the debate over whether, or how, to spend the money rages on. The state took in $1.8 billion in tax revenue in May, which was nearly $34 million or about percent more than expected. Year-to-date collections total $24.3 billion, which is $539.4 million or 2.3 percent above estimate, the state Revenue Department said yesterday. In a statement, House Minority Leader Frank Dermody, D-Allegheny,said the surplus "is not just a one-month blip or a result of corporate accounting practices. It is the cumulative figure for more than 90 percent of the current fiscal year and it reflects the growing strength of Pennsylvania’s economy," Majority House Republicans and Gov. Tom Corbett oppose spending the money and want to save it for a Rainy Day (fund). This puts them at odds with the Senate, where Democrats and Republicans want to use some portion of the money to restore budget cuts.
